Authorized Payer Access

Authorized payer access to CUBill&Pay allows parents, family members and others (up to 5 people total) access to:

  • view the same billing information that the student sees and pay the tuition bill online;
  • sign up for payment plans online;
  • receive email notifications about听the bill; and
  • discuss the bill, but not financial aid (see FERPA Consent to Release below),听with Bursar's Office staff by email, phone and in person. Staff will verify your identity by asking for your full name and the email address associated with your authorized payer account.听

If authorized payers have more听than one student attending CU Boulder, each student needs to provide authorized payer听access separately.听Find out how to give parents and family members Authorized Payer Access.

We also recommend Guest听Access so that parents/family members can see selections that affect the university bill.听Guest Access gives read-only, online access to specific听educational information. In terms of billing information, Guest Access provides access to:

  • view the class schedule;
  • view holds;
  • view and download the 1098-T Tax Form (social security number is removed);
  • view your student's College Opportunity Fund (COF) selections, if applicable;
  • view your student's health insurance plan (SHIP) selection (must be selected every year).
